Covington Police Seek Warrants For Facebook And MySpace
KENTUCKY....
Covington police searching for 17 year old Paige Johnson of Florence, a missing teenage mother, are seeking search warrants for the Facebook and MySpace accounts of the teen and 22 year old Taylor Mill resident Jacob Bumpass, the man with whom she was last seen. Phone records obtained from Bumpass and Johnson reveal ongoing communication between the pair prior to September 23rd, but no contact after that date. Further investigation showed Johnson and Bumpass regularly communicated using social networking sites, and people interviewed about the disappearance said Bumpass used social networking sites to post information about Johnson after her disappearance. Authorities say Johnson reached out to people on her Facebook account, and, at 12:12 A.M. on September 23rd, she posted a message to a friend. It read, "GIRL. I need To Talk To You IMMEDIATELY!" Bumpass was arrested October 4th for possession of deadly weapons, drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and lying to his parole officers about where he worked. Covington police have refused to call Bumpass a suspect, or even a person of interest in the case, but he is being held in the Kenton County Jail on parole violations.
